The problem

An interesting email lands from a founder you've never heard of, from a domain that was registered last year. Before the partner meeting you need to know: who is this, what did they build before, and is the team real?

With Encrata

One lookup turns the address into the founder's name, background, previous companies and social presence. What used to be twenty browser tabs of due-diligence prep happens in the time it takes to open the calendar invite.

How it works

1

Send the address

Call the identity endpoint with just an email address, no name, no company, nothing else required.

2

We resolve the person

Encrata matches the address against public profiles and returns name, role, company, location and social accounts.

3

Use the profile

Route, personalise, verify or investigate with a full picture of who is behind the address. Fields you ask for are the fields you get.

One call, structured answer

Investor Research runs on the email identity lookup at 1,000 credits per lookup. Same API key, same JSON shape as every other Encrata lookup.

  • A match on 99.86% of addresses, near-zero dead lookups
  • Every field is labelled found or not found, so you never guess what to trust
  • Ask only for the fields you need with the fields parameter
  • One API call replaces minutes of manual research per contact

Diligence where deal flow lands

Wire the lookup into wherever deal flow enters, the shared inbox, the CRM, the screening spreadsheet. Each inbound founder email gets resolved to name, background and previous companies before the first partner discussion, so the 'who is this?' phase of screening compresses from an evening of tabs to a glance.

The same baseline for every inbound

The discipline this enables is consistency: every inbound gets the same baseline diligence, not just the ones that arrived with a warm intro. Funds also use it defensively, an address that resolves to nothing, on a domain registered last month, attached to an unsolicited deck, is a pattern worth noticing before the call gets booked.
